SHARP Workplaces

When it comes to workplace sexual harassment, complainants in British Columbia need greater access to legal support and more informational resources. Employers and employees need to increase their knowledge, skill, and confidence levels in handling this complex issue.

That’s why EVA BC has launched an exciting public legal education project that will help small business, non-profits, Indigenous communities, and youth-focused legal assistance centres boost their ability to prevent and respond to workplace sexual harassment issues.

EVA BC is co-leading the five-year project SHARP Workplaces (Sexual Harassment Advice, Response, and Prevention for Workplaces) with Community Legal Assistance Society (CLAS). This includes two program streams: Public Legal Education and Information (PLEI) provided by EVA BC and free legal advice offered by CLAS.

Please note: Training delivery dates to be announced in the spring of 2020

New brochure and posters now available

The SHARP Workplaces project has produced new posters, each aimed at a separate audience: Nonprofits, Small Business, and Indigenous Communities. They provide information on the training components that EVA BC offers regarding sexual harassment in the workplace. Please share these widely in your networks and feel free to display them prominently in your workplace.

SHARP Workplaces has also created a general brochure that defines sexual harassment in the workplace, outlines employers’ responsibilities to prevent it, and describes the training components that EVA BC offers.
